Reverence i'm the Sanctuary.

The Rev. DIR. John Hall has spoken
upon this subject with directness and
force. His remarks in reference to the
close OF worship are to DE earnestly
commended:
81 could sometimes wish that you
did not leave your pew so abruptly
and promptly as you do the moment
the last syllable OF the benediction has
been pronounced. There is no need
that you should have your hat in
your hand; no need that you should
have the great coat on your shoulder;
nor yet that, the moment the last
syllable Is pronounced. doors should
be thrown open as though You were
eager and impatient until the thing
had come to n close. Ii would be well
it would be better-more in har-
mony with those outward expressions
of reverence If there were moments
silence, a silent pause indicating that
when the service is closed you have
not been eager for its close, and then
1t Is yours to 90 away in the hopefu,
confidence that God, who has BEEN
waited upon by you, ana
whose benediction has besn pronounc
ed over you in His name and by HIS
authority, would 90 With you and
help you 20 make the the rest of your
life. not secular as distinguished from

John l.. Sullivan as Il Gentleman.
Philadelphia Times

His frequent debauches became
town talk the world over. and his
name became a synonym for all that
was course, brutal and indecent in
sporting. However John L. grew good
about six months ago. He had COM
menced to see that his path was not
80 smooth and fiowery as at one
time. He was broke. He didn't have
q dollar to his name, and worse than
that, he owed thousands on thou
sands OF dollars. For q man who has
made at least q quarter OF q million
dollars in the past five years by the
sweat OF some other fellows brows
Sullivan had done royalty well in get
ting away with the spoils.
However, the time for reform was
dawning near. Il will go to-" said
John L. to himself one bright morn

Since that day Sullivan has dallied

slips from his tongue now, with all the
unctuous fervor that was wont to lend
polluted force to his strange oaths.
and by the change in his manner of
speech Sullivan has already increased
the number of his friends three or four
fold. He is but little more than TWEEN
ty-eight years old, and there is yet
time for him to study French and be-
come polished courtier. And ii he can
ape the courtly graces OF manners so
mu'h affected by that most polite OF
nations but little will be left undone,
and it will certainly be far more plea
SAINT for his rivals to be put to sleep
with a cavalierly "By your leave, sir,
than with an ugly. morose, '"Take
that, you chump."
Physically. Sullivan has also made
q marked Improvement in the past
half year He is no longer bloated
and pulled up with bad liquor, and
but for his broken arm would be ready
to whip any man in the world with
more ease than at any time in the
last three years. Al! in all, the gen.
eral Improvement in John L.. Sullivan

marked and conspicuous that he mer-
its commentator for having come to

Why Men Don't Marry.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
The newspaper paragraphs, the COL
umn articles, even the books which
are written to show the reason why
SO many young men remain bachelors,
is because girls are so extravagant in
their tastes that it is impossible TO
provide such homes and living as they
demand, can not be counted. A
great deal OF this is the veriest bosh.
II Is the exception rather than the
rule for young man to remain single,
Il he wants to marry. He thinks If
the girl OF his heart is willing TO 60
with him, they can rub along some
bow, and many times it proves to be
the severest kind of rubbing. II a
yound man don't marry, set it down
that he didn want to give up his free,
easy1going. independent life; to deny
himself his wine and cigars; to be
obliged to think tor somebody else be-
tides himself; in short, to assume the
burdens and responsibilities OF fami-
n man. The girl he thinks he loves
need not worry over his loss, not
Sit, for he is too selfish to make
~ aeood husband.

4 Queer Story from Bolivia.

Speaking Of money reminds me OF the

Bolivia. Counterfeit money Is as current
as good money and passes Just as well. At
hotel in La Paz cou d hear the workings
OF counterfeit press in the room next my
own. A former American Consul IN one Of
the Bolivian cities sold his press to my
English companion. Another oil our dipio
matte corps in Bolivia had 100 kegs o.
nails sent him from New York. There were
a few nails laid in the tops and bottoms oi
The kegs, but the main contents were coun-
terlet silver pieces. The Consulw was not at
home when the kegs arrived at his ware
house. 4 brotherin-law OF President Dosa

about the time, aud the Consnl's secretary
sold him a dozen kegs. An exposure wa
prevented by the Consul going halves with

a Remarkable Prescntiment.

From the Jackson, (Ga.) News.
Miss Minnie Atkinson, sister OF
young Arthur A. Atkinson. who died
near Jackson, recently, has been an
inmate and student at Mary Sharp
COLLEGE, Winchester, Tenn, for two
terms past. and arrived nome on re-
caivin1 n telegram OF the serious Ill
ness OF her brother. She relates a
most singular circumstance connected
with the death OF her brother as fol-
lows:
She was very much devoted to her
brother Arthur, and had his picture
with her, which she showed to her as
sociates in college, and often spoke OF
the good qualities OF her brother. One
OF the young ladies seemed smitten
with the picture and asked TO see 1t
often. Recently this young lady was
in company with Miss Minnie, and
asked to see the picture. Ii was given
her to look at, and after gazing at 1t
intently few minutes, she said:
Isn't your brother dead"
OF course the suggestion startled
Miss Minnie, but she replied:
"No he is not dead"
The young lady, still gazing at the
picture, said:
Minnie your brother is dead"
Miss Minnie Immediately went to
the president and told him what had
occurred, and begged him 10 let her go
home at once. The president said it
was mere idle fancy OF the young
lady. and she ought not to let 1t
trouble her mind, but to return to her
room and think no more OF 1t. She
returned to her room, but could not
shake off the impression made by the
predictions OF the young lady, for she
had presentiment that 1t was true.
and that she would receive telegram
confirming it. On Sunday morning
she went to the president and
told HIM that he ought to have let her
60 home yesterday, for she would re-
ceive a telegram to-day announcing
her brothers serious illness. The presi'
dent booted at the idea, and again
sent her back to her room. Soon after
leaving the president on Sunday she
received the telegram and at once
made preparations for her journey
home. Taking the south bound train,
the president and physician OF the
college accompanied her q portion OF
the way when Miss Minnie was inter
'cepted by telegranfro Winchester,
Tenn, stating that the young lady
who had foretold the death of Mr..
Atkinson. in Jackson, was dead! The
president aud physician returned to
Winchester and Miss Minnie came on
to Jackon, to find her adored brother
a corpse. Taking the circumstances
all together they form a mysterious
and remarkable combinatina OF facts.
